Jimbob Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I also promise to not get drunk and smash beer cans into my head, like last year.
The Peeps Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 If we can settle a date and leave enough notice I can book a day off and confirm my attendance 100% Otherwise it's chance :p I could probably still book a day off fairly close to it though, I just like to be safe.
jayseven Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Honestly, I think it would be fairest if we base the date around when dannyboy is in town. He is the one who is making the biggest trip. No matter what happens, not everyone will be able to attend, but for danny to come to the UK and not have a chance to meet us? For shame. N-E MEAT 2011 should have Danny as guest of honour.
The Peeps Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I'll start work on the crown but someone else has to do the throne

I'll bring the Carlsberg then.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 So it looks like everyone has dates they can fit it in but that date won't suit everyone, so why don't you all start being more specific about the times you can make. Me? I can make any time. Probably spend ages trying to find where people are sitting like last time. Specificity FTW! :p As long as it's in a weekend, it shouldn't really be a problem for me. As I said, we haven't planned a set date yet, and since the reason for the trip is mostly the meet, we plan to aim for whatever date ends up being final.

Thanks, jay. But yeah, it shouldn't be much of a problem. I can hear my parents out if they have any preferences.
Goafer Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 My attendance depends on who else is coming. Make of that what you will.

Jimbob Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 My attendance depends on who else is coming. Make of that what you will. In preparation, i have last years letter "N" ready.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Your parents seem pretty awesome, Danny. Oh, they are! They're incredibly open-minded, and I've always had an amazing relationship with them. I pity people who don't have good relationships with their parents.
Rummy Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I'm with jay, though kinda impressed Danny says his trip with parents are based around the meet, are you going to be bringing them also, Danny? :P I think definitely try and work around far travellers though, so for now if you are travelling from overseas then make a point of it here and now with your dates. To Irish and Scottish(cos I don't technically count you as overseas :p), if you are having to make crazy travel arrangements then also do the same, but we can't necessarily work it to everyone 100%.
Magnus Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I'm with jay, though kinda impressed Danny says his trip with parents are based around the meet, are you going to be bringing them also, Danny? :P Not if he ever wants to be allowed to go online again.
jayseven Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 So we should wait to make a date for when danny's available, but he's going to mate a date for when the meet's happenning?
The fish Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I should be free all of June, but beyond that, I will be either in a position with very limited time (/first 6 days of July), otherwise engaged (21st celebrations 7th-12th) or working with 1 day off a week (I'll have to let you know on that one...) I really want to make it this year, the last big one I was at, and the St Albans mini-meet, were both shits and giggles.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I'm with jay, though kinda impressed Danny says his trip with parents are based around the meet, are you going to be bringing them also, Danny? :P Haha! No, as awesome as they are, that would just be awkward in every respect imaginable. Basically I told my parents about wanting to go the annual meet in Hyde Park with my internet friends at least once in my life, and seeing as I graduated last summer, it seemed fitting to do it this year. I hadn't considered if I was going to travel with anyone, but since we were all on vacation in London a few years back and loved it, my parents wanted to grab the opportunity to go there again, if only just for a weekend.
Rummy Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Right, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this because if I don't do this, nobody else will do this, so this is getting done right here and right now. Saturday 16th of July
The fish Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 There's a different between a paradox and optical illusions. In the top big triangle, the 2 triangular segments have different angle slopes... Right, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this because if I don't do this, nobody else will do this, so this is getting done right here and right now. Saturday 16th of July Fuck that, I can't make it. I say: Saturday 2nd of July
jayseven Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 hey man, I didn't make the picture, I just googled "paradox motivation" and copy-pasta'd it. Figured someone would be pedantic and point out the obvious though :P
Shorty Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 OH MY GOD FISH YOU SOLVED THAT UNSOLVABLE INTERNET RIDDLE.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 So we should wait to make a date for when danny's available, but he's going to mate a date for when the meet's happenning? I'd prefer to date a mate, though I have no expectations in that regard for the trip. Basically I've told my parents to give notice soon if there are any dates they either prefer or can't make, but as it looks now I/we don't have any plans or preferences for the summer as of yet. My own plan is to move out come July, so if we could try to avoid the end of June/beginning of July I really should be able to make any date. ... Meaning I'm wary of the date proposed by fish.
jayseven Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Danny; if you can arrange a date THIS WEEK then we'll shape it around you :P GET ON THE CASE!
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Danny; if you can arrange a date THIS WEEK then we'll shape it around you :P GET ON THE CASE! That should be a doable task. I'm on it!
The Peeps Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 16th of July is awkward but I could probably make it depending on start/finish time... Other than that, if we settle it early enough I can just book time off
Rummy Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Hmm, well then how about the 23rd? Not at all because I totally just realised I might have other plans for the 16th. Don't just be all like 'oo, not sure I can do that', suggest alternatives instead! Much easier if everyone knows when people CAN do, rather than can't do.
